*Beyoncé is set to perform at the 2022 Academy Awards on Sunday, alongside Billie Eilish, Finneas, and the other artists nominated for Best Original Song.
The music icon is nominated for “Be Alive,” which she recorded for the “King Richard” soundtrack. The project stars Will Smith as Richard Williams, the father of tennis stars Venis and Serena Williams. It’s unclear if Bey will be performing the song live from Dolby Theatre at Ovation in Hollywood, or if it will be pre-taped performance from the tennis courts where the Williams sisters used to train in Compton, Variety reports.
The other Original Song nominees will also perform their nominated singles during the awards show, including Sebastián Yatra delivering “Dos Oruguitas,” Billie Eilish and Finneas performing “No Time to Die,” and Reba McEntire singing “Somehow You Do.” Van Morrison is also nominated for his song “Down To Joy” but is unable to attend the show due to his touring schedule.

If “Be Alive” wins the coveted golden trophy for Best Original Song, it would be Beyoncé’s first Academy Award.
Netflix’s “The Power of the Dog” is leading the Oscar nominations with 12 nods, “Dune,” which collected 10, and “West Side Story” with seven. Denzel Washington earned his 10th Oscar nod for “The Tragedy of Macbeth” (the most for any Black actor).
